ChatGPT's AI Market Share Drops Below 50 Percent
ChatGPT's market share in the AI assistant space has reportedly fallen below 50 percent for the first time since its launch. A report by analytics firm Sensor Tower indicates that OpenAI's flagship chatbot now holds 46.4 percent of the total AI market share, down from over 50 percent in January. Competitors Google Gemini and Anthropic's Claude have seen increases, with Gemini reaching 27.7 percent and Claude 10.3 percent. Despite the dip in market share, ChatGPT maintains a significant lead in monthly users.
OpenAI's ChatGPT has seen its market share in the AI assistant sector decline, marking the first instance it has dropped below a majority threshold. According to Sensor Tower's annual State of AI report, cited by TechCrunch, ChatGPT's market share now stands at 46.4 percent, a reduction from over 50 percent recorded in January.
While ChatGPT still leads the market, other AI tools are experiencing growth. Google Gemini has increased its share to 27.7 percent, and Anthropic's Claude has reached 10.3 percent. Other chatbots, including Grok and Meta AI, each hold less than 5 percent of the market share.
In terms of user engagement, ChatGPT continues to report a substantial user base, with 1.1 billion monthly users. Google Gemini follows with 662 million monthly users. The integration of AI into everyday devices and services, such as Apple's new Siri AI later this year, could further influence these user numbers.
In related developments, Microsoft has reportedly indicated a potential interest in utilizing the lower-cost Chinese model DeepSeek for some of its enterprise AI tools. OpenAI is also preparing for a possible initial public offering (IPO) later in the year, a move that could be impacted by shifting market share dynamics.
According to Mashable Tech, this data originates from Sensor Tower's annual State of AI report, as cited by TechCrunch.
